Well, we've been collecting Listener Surveys since the show started and even though I've not mentioned them for a while, they've accumulate at a nice pace. So who's listening? What type of folks are interested in Old Time Radio Detectives? A few quick facts:

Men make up a solid majority of our listeners: Our listener base is 64% Male, but this is quite a bit less than the 71% male listener base over on Dragnet.

The Audience is well-educated: 60% of the Audience has at least a Bachelor's degree with 29% having post-graduate degrees.

The Audience is a mix of ages: One would expect that most listeners would be people reliving the days they'd heard radio. While some are, the numbers suggest that there are plenty of younger listeners. 47% of the listeners were under 45 and 96% are under 65. This means we're bringing old time radio to a new generation, as well as a few who are reliving it. This would seem to suggest that there's a future in the past.

Where in the World: Blubrry tracks where our downloads are coming from. Most (90.6%) come from the U.S. However, our neighbors to the North contribute 6.2% of the downloads, followed by the U.K. at 1.8%, also showing up for downloads this month are Australia, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, Ireland, Switzerland, and Sweden,

I get asked a lot about what shows we're going to play as replacements in the line up become necessary, so I decided to make a list of the shows I would like to do, the shows I'm not going to do and those I'm not sure about. If there's another detective show that's not on the list, please leave it in the comments or call the show at 208-991-GR8D (4783).

The only shows that I will consider are either American made shows or shows made for American syndication that were produced before February 15, 1972.

Last month, we took a look at who downloaded the pilot episode. 6 out of 7 downloads originated in the U.S. and 6.3% came from Canada.

Now after a whole month, our downloads are up significantly. The first episode of the month (an episode of Box 13) has been downloaded 1,254 times with the first episode of Sherlock Holmes uploaded 3 days laters garnering another 103 downloads, for a total of 1357. This makes Great Detectives about 1/3 as Popular as the Old Time Dragnet show, and after only 5 weeks of existence.

Our downloads have risen, and so have the percentage of downloads coming from outside the U.S. At this point, 76.4% of our downloads are from the U.S. as opposed to 86.1%. The big surprise this month is which country has emerged as a clear #2 in downloads: Germany.

Yep, 15.3% of downloads come from Germany, more than four times the percentage of Canadians who are listening. In addition to the U.K., France, and Australia, which are shown on the graph, we also got downloads from the Netherlands, China, South Korea, and Switzerland.

Other findings:

The percentage of downloads from Itunes was down significantly as Itunes downloads only accounted for 61% of the total number of downloads in November v. 86% of October. Zune (16.4%) and Juice (16.3%) accounted for the bulk of other downloads.

In terms of which show is the most popular, the answer seems to be "elementary." Over time, Sherlock Holmes seems to outdraw all other shows. Every week's shows that have been in circulation for three weeks shows Sherlock Holmes the preferred choice. Yours Truly Johnny Dollar is second. The battle for third and fourth is neck and neck between Box 13 and Pat Novak with Box 13 having the edge. Finishing 5th is let George Do It. The differences between the shows aren't hugely significant and may be partly explained by when people download shows. Being stuck in the middle of the Week as Let George Do It is may be a fairly significant challenge.
